Merle;" If you're human Bob, why do you're knuckles drag along the ground when you walk?"


Does anyone remember a show that was on channel 2 called "You cant do that on television?" that was good, because they had the word of the day you couldnt say otherwise you'd get slimed..

Great cartoons were...the smurfs (the advent of "are we there yet?"), Hong Kong Phooey, The amazing chan and the chan clan, and JABBERJAW!!! ('nyuk nyuk nyuk...no respect!), oh and Grape Ape (" I'm sorreee, beagely beagley"). i could go on forever...

Do any older members (Mick or Coorong perhaps) remember a tonight show that was on Channel 7 (i think) in the late 60's (?) which was hosted by Bob "I brought the Beatles to Adelaide Dickbrain" Francis. It was like a "dare" show and they would get members of the public to do various stupid things (drink unknown beverages whilst blindfolded, ring a family member at home and get them to say something stupid etc). What was it called?
I remember "Whats my secret" with Ros (grrrrr!!!!!) from the Cartoon Show and Barry Ion on the panel.

You got me on the show with Fatty Francis, I vaguely remember it, but not the name of show. There was also a Channel Seven variety show starring Barry Ion with John Vincent as his side kick, it was supposed to be a bit of a competitor for Adelaide Tonight. That was around 69 - 71, I think it bombed badly. The show with Ros Wood was called "I've got a secret" (i think?), it also had Spencer Binns as a panellist, Spencer owned Benjamins Restaurant down near the Torrens Weir. Anyway during the 90s Spencer sometimes worked as a barman at the Exeter in Rundle St for his brother Nick. I always remember people who serve me drinks Ros Wood was bloody annoying in that show when asked to guess the celebrity guest was she would always say " Is it Bob Moore?" didn't matter who it was always the same f*8king answer.

The Channel Niners with Ian Fairweather , Glenys O'Brian (who eventually married Ernie Sigley) who was then replaced by Anne North ( claim to fame a bare foot "hippy wedding", spread all over the News and TV), Dean Davis eventually replaced Ian, and compaired with a smokin' hot dark headed bird, can't remember her name God she'd be goin' on 60 now!....remebered Helen Woods!

Thanks Mick. I use to go to the Exeter a lot in the early 90's (to see bands) but didn't recognise Spencer.
Anne North was actually my kindergarten teacher (St Phillips in Broadview) and that connection got me a couple of gigs on Here's Humphrey in the late 60's (my 15 minutes of fame ) also got a gig on the Channel Niners once eating doughnuts from a string! I reckon Mrs Ernie Sigley was the host in those days (with Ian Fairweather).

Yep "The Penthouse Club" it was.

Spencer was mainly a day-time barman, so you probably wouldn't have seen him, unless you are in around lunch-time. I don't know how many people would remember Ernie Sigley started on Channel Seven on the kids show, he played a mailman and did a segment called "Ernie's Mailbag", he subsequently made the move to nine and didn't look back!!

[Dissident]

I remember coming home from school and watching PUGWALL - Haha.....

Go the Orange Organics.

Does anyone remember when Channel Ten had horror movies presented by Deadly Earnest?

[spell_check]

yeah spelly thats the one, and they had that stupid school locker skit where they told corny jokes....

I remember they were in this cafeteria quite a lot, talking to the chef behind the counter - it was a rather industrial looking canteen.

[mick]

Sure do, Hedley Cullen was his real name. The eyes at the end of the movie was the highlight

[GWW]

Being a port supporter, it always used to interest me that it was co hosted by the father of player, David Hutton.

[zipzap]

Does anyone remember "Thats Incredible"? That was better than the types of shows like "Ripleys Believe it or Not" etc....i remember one episode where they showed a horse driving a car, it was doing so from the back of a ute, classic tv!!

Sure do

[therisingblues]

A few people have made references to the show "Channel Niners", but for the era you are referring to, shouldn't it be called "The Super Cartoon Show"?
A couple that haven't been mentioned yet, from my youth;
Welcome Back Kotter
The Paul Hogan Show
What Will They Think of Next
The Kenny Everitt Show
The Naked Vicar Show
Blankety Blanks (with Graham Kennedy)
Land of the Lost
Godzilla vs the Naked Amazon Beach Volley Ball Babes
The Beatles also had a TV show that I remember seeing in the early seventies when I was still in my nappies, anyone remember the name of that one?

[Magpiespower]

There used to be a great animals show weekdays on Channel 9 at 4.30 in the afternoon.

Hosted by some bloke with a mo.

Think it was actually called 'Animals' funny enough.
